The New Relics hail from West Virginia, and deliver a sound that is more than country music.  It’s a journey about great songs.  Influenced by artists like John Mellencamp, Train, Pat Green, and Jack Ingram, The New Relics have blended the sounds of country, rock and Americana.  Kelly Lynn caught up with them at a special show at Nashville’s Tin Roof on Demonbreum.

Now it’s time for our weekly Songwriter Tip, brought to you by Nashville Songwriters Association International.  NSAI helps songwriters of all levels and abilities.  This week we sit down with pro member Wood Newton as he talks about making rhymes work.
